Lung is the respiratory organ of human body, and it is also an important hematopoietic organ of human body. It is located in the chest and leads to the throat. It is in the highest position of our internal organs, and the lungs are delicate, not cold and heat-resistant. Moreover, the lung qi of the human body is in harmony with the skin on the body surface, and the primary significance of maintaining the skin lies in nourishing the lungs. People with poor lungs often have dull complexion, early wrinkles, dull sallow, or pigmentation and inelastic skin. It is also more prone to symptoms of dry or itchy skin.
Poor lungs also affect sleep. Lung governs breathing. Bad lungs are often accompanied by cough and chest tightness, and the heart can't work normally, so it is easy to suffocate and wake up. In addition, lung qi deficiency is more likely to cause spleen qi deficiency, which in turn affects the digestive function of the human body and even affects defecation, which is more likely to cause constipation. In addition to these common physical discomfort, poor lungs will also reduce the body's resistance.
In the case of poor lungs, you will feel tired and short of breath, and you will be more vulnerable to external evils. This will lead to a long-term decline in lung function and human immune function and fall into a "vicious circle." Therefore, it is very important to nourish the lungs, especially in autumn, when the lungs are more vulnerable to hot and dry, and targeted measures should be taken to maintain the lungs. Supplementing the lungs in autumn can not only help us strengthen our physique, but also play an important role in the prevention of lung diseases in winter, which can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.
